The EU isn't treating you any different from any other EU country. I live in Norway and we are not even EU members but we still have to abide by EU laws. It is a very frequent occurrence that something can't be done because it means preferential treatment to a specific party. We must often buy things abroad because we can't give preferential treatment to Norwegian companies who would most likely do the job better for Norwegian conditions. I don't know how many times we have bought stuff from Spain or Italy or some other southern European country that simple broke down and didn't work in Norwegian climate and conditions. They won because they undercut out companies in price but they can't deliver quality. But these are EU rules. I get why they have to be there. I don't think it would be fair if Ireland would skip on the rules. I already think it is grossly unfair how Ireland is operating. Irish tax policies is hurting everybody else. We are also a small country and are under severe pressure to lower corporate taxes to stay in the game. Ireland is creating a race to the bottom. If everybody did like Ireland, everybody would be big losers. Everybody can't be a tax heaven. Tax heavens benefit at the expense of everybody else. I've worked with a lot of people who got laid off in Norwegian games industry because Canada offered special tax incentives so they moved everything there. Countries should compete on talent, infrastructure, salaries, regulation etc not on a race to the bottom on taxes.
